This is interesting and silly at the same time. I wonder what the actual legal implications would be of this. Obviously the Revenue Protection people have no authority to force someone on a flight.
I can't think of a great example but let's say I went to a restaurant and ordered a three course meal at a discount - appetizer, main and dessert. Let's also say if I ordered the appetizer and the main separately that they would be more expensive compared to the three course meal I got at a discount. Now if I tell the waitress I don't want the dessert are they going to force me to eat it or charge me the price difference?
